Converting Focal Length from Pixels to Millimeters to use in Bentley Context Capture

The focal length field in ContextCapture requires a focal length in mm instead of pixels. To convert a known focal length in pixels to mm: F(mm) = F(pixels) * SensorWidth(mm) / ImageWidth (pixel). For an X4S, the image width in pixels is 5472. Context Capture indicates the sensor width is 13.2 mm, so the equation…

Determine Shutter Interval

    Airgon generally recommends using a shutter interval (amount of time the shutter is open) of 1/800th second for typical drone mapping flight plans.  However, as flight speed increases and/or GSD decreases, a faster shutter speed (shorter shutter interval) may be required to prevent motion blur. The proper shutter interval for a situation can…
